On July 11, 2016, at Hotel International Bucharest is held the 2nd Workshop RRI co-organized by IMT-Bucharest and Chamber of Commerce and Industry Rousse, Bulgaria (agenda). IMT-Bucharest is associated partner. The workshop is dedicated to training the experts on tools developed within the project FP7-"Responsible Research and Innovation" (leaflet).

The event is part of the 2016 series of the RRI-Tools events. More information about the project can be found at the address: http://www.rri-tools.eu.

The 36th edition of the International Semiconductor Conference (CAS 2013) was organized by IMT Bucharest between 14 and 16 of October, 2013 at Sinaia, Romania.

CAS 2013 presented this year a total number of 71 papers: 60 regular and 11 invited (Austria, France, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Romania and Sweden). The authors were from 20 countries on 2 continents (16 countries from Europe).
The event was attended by 117 participants.

This year the most popular section was “The Student Papers”. The best paper award was accorded to Mr. Andrea De Luca, University of Cambridge, UK, for the paper “A THERMOPILE BASED SOI CMOS MEMS WALL SHEAR STRESS SENSOR”.

CAS 2013 was sponsored by IEEE Electron Devices Society, Ministry of National Education, EV Group Europe&Asia Pacific GmbH, Raith GmbH, Carl Zeiss Instruments, SC New Style Trans Prest SRL and Emfutur Technologies. The Conference is also held under the aegis of the Romania Academy and Electrochemical Society Inc.

International Semiconductor Conference, an annual event, is taking place in Romania since 1978. The National Institute for Research and Development in Microtehnologies – IMT Bucharest is the traditional organizer of CAS. The Conference was opened to foreign participants since 1991, becoming an international conference. CAS Conference is underlying the development in micro-and nanotechnologies, still maintaining the “traditional” connection with semiconductor electronics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation "Horizon 2020" was launched in Bucharest on 4th of October 2013 by European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn.

European Framework programme "Horizon 2020" has a budget of 70 billion euro and aim to finance the projects that target the technic, scientific, educational, and social objectives assumed trough "Europe 2020" Strategy. The programme addresses to researchers and applicants from European Union states.

The National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnology - IMT Bucharest participated to the exposition, organized by this launching event, with information about its research activities in FP7 European projects, including ENIAC and national projects in micro nanotechnologies domain.

From September 16 until September 20, 2013, Bucharest was the host of the most important and successful conferences on microelectronics in Europe: ESSDERC (43rd European Solid-State Devices Research Conference) and ESSCIRC (39th European Solid-State Circuits Conference).

IMT Bucharest was one of the Conference co-organizers, with 6 scientific researchers members of the Technical Programme Committee (TPC) for ESSDERC, including the TPC chair (Prof. Dan Dascalu) and 3 conference session chairs. Link: http://esscirc2013.imt.ro/TPC_ESSDERC_2013.shtml

IMT is
organizing annually in Romania the CAS conference (micro- and nanotechnologies), an international
IEEE event, and is publishing CAS Proceedings (an IEEE publication). Both the conference itself and the satellite events organized
almost every year (e.g. European projects meetings) are promoting the international cooperation of the
Romanian researchers. (Previous editions)

Satellite event at CAS 2012: “Smart Sensing on Smart SOI” Workshop

Representatives from the SOI-HITS project (Microsemi,
Honeywell Romania, Univ. of Cambridge, Univ. of Warwick, Universite
catholique de Louvain, CISSOID, Cambridge CMOS Sensors, IREC) will be
holding its first project workshop at the IEEE International
Semiconductor Conference. SOI-HITS (Smart Silicon-on-Insulator Sensing
Systems Operating at High Temperature) is a €4M collaborative EU FP7
project developing sensor systems with built in electronic interfaces
designed to work in harsh high temperature environments (225o. C ambient). Sunday, 14th of October, at 2PM, at New
Montana Hotel in Sinaia. More details about the project can be found here:www.soi-hits.euThe event is open, free of charge, for all CAS participants.

IMT is organizing (through the Centre for Nanotechnologies from IMT,
working under the aegis of the Romanian Academy) a one-day National Seminar for Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology (each year), in 2012 at the 11th Edition. The best papers are published in a volume (in
English), in a series for “Micro- and nanoengineering”, edited by the Publishing House of the Romanian
Academy. IMT has a crucial role in the publication not only of the above series, but also of the ISI rated
ROMJIST (Romanian Journal for Information Science and Technology) edited by the Romanian
Academy. ROMJIST is publishing a number of issues in micro- and nanotechnologies.

NITECH Romania (www.nitech.ro) organized a demonstration regarding operating and performances of the AFM NTEGRA series, produced by NTMDT Russia, on 19 May 2009, at IMT Bucharest headquarter.

The demonstration was carried out by Eng. Ivan Bykov, services and installing engineering at NTMDT. Among the participants, researchers from Institute for Biology of the Romanian Academy, National Institute of Materials Physics, Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Romanian Academy attended the event

"XRD techniques and applications in micro and nanotechnologies domain”, seminar organized by IMT – Bucharest and CASON ROMANIA. During the meeting were discussed Solutions and Applications offered by XRD techniques especially for Rigaku SmartLab difractometer working on thin films, 20 January 2009, IMT Bucharest.

INFO DAYS

"Info Day for the new FP7 REGPOT call", IMT-Bucharest, December 2008
- On December the 2nd, the National Authority for Scientific Research has organized an Info Day for the new FP7 REGPOT calls: FP7-REGPOT-2009-1 and FP7-REGPOT-2009-2. The special guest of this event was Jean David Malo, head of Unit B4, DG research of EC. Dr. A. Muller was invited, together with other coordinators of previous wining REGPOT projects from Romania, to give a presentation about the MIMOMEMS Project.
